    I'm calling BS on this. Math or it didn't happen. Looking at level 1-50 crafting, blacksmithing for example:

    Rampager - Green Item
    Main Hand › Marauder's Arm
    Sells for 1,081 gil

    Materials needed:
    • x1 Fire Cluster
    • x1 Earth Cluster
    • x2 Darksteel Plate
    • x6 Ice Crystal
    • x4 Darksteel Nugget
    • x12 Fire Crystal
    • x12 Darksteel Ore
    • x1 Spruce Lumber
    • x3 Wind Crystal
    • x3 Spruce Log
    • x1 Rampager Head
    • x1 Fire Cluster
    • x1 Earth Cluster
    • x1 Darksteel Ingot
    • x1 Fire Cluster
    • x2 Darksteel Nugget
    • x6 Fire Crystal
    • x6 Darksteel Ore
    • x9 Coke
    • x2 Darksteel Nugget
    • x6 Fire Crystal
    • x6 Darksteel Ore

    You're doing all of this for less than 1081 Gil?

    Cobalt Claws - White Item
    Main Hand › Pugilist's Arm
    Sells for 474 gil
    • x6 Fire Shard
    • x6 Earth Shard
    • x1 Cobalt Ingot
    • x5 Fire Shard
    • x1 Iron Ore
    • x2 Cobalt Ore
    • x1 Brass Ingot
    • x1 Wind Shard
    • x2 Copper Ore
    • x1 Zinc Ore
    • x1 Cobalt Plate
    • x5 Ice Shard
    • x2 Cobalt Ingot
    • x10 Fire Shard
    • x2 Iron Ore
    • x4 Cobalt Ore
    • x1 Mahogany Lumber
    • x5 Wind Shard
    • x3 Mahogany Log
    • x1 Horn Glue
    • x3 Water Shard
    • x2 Aldgoat Horn

    You're doing all of this for less than 474 Gil?

    Bronze Dagger - White Item
    Main Hand › Gladiator's Arm
    Sells for 8 gil
    • x1 Fire Shard
    • x1 Earth Shard
    • x1 Bronze Ingot
    • x1 Fire Shard
    • x2 Copper Ore
    • x1 Tin Ore
    • x1 Maple Lumber
    • x1 Wind Shard
    • x3 Maple Log
    • x1 Bone Chip

    Selling the farmed materials is more gil than selling to a vendor here (still a net loss)...

    Bronze Ingot
    Costs 9 gil from a vendor
    • x1 Fire Shard
    • x2 Copper Ore
    • x1 Tin Ore

    At level 50 even if you're gathering all of your own material and not purchasing from the Market Ward your cost of farming the materials out-weighs the cost of the produced item sold to a vendor.

    So rather than posting baseless opinions as "facts" lets see some math backing up that vendoring crafted goods puts money into the economy. And before you come at me with Craft-leves, this has already been discredited as a reliable source of adding money back into the economy several times, many pages ago.
